Off season rumours anyone?
Here is what we know....

CE to factory Yamaha with Rossi
Haydon to stay put
The Biatch to REPSOL Honda
Checa to Marlboro Ducati with Capirossi
**edit** Thanks to boot for the info
Elias and Xaus to Yamaha
Bayliss and Barros Pons
***edit*** Thanks to Rios
Tamada HRC Honda Konica with michelins
*edit* thanks to ULEWZ
KR jr. and Hopkins stay with the sookz
Nakano and Hofman to stay with Kwak with a possible extra slot opening.
Hodgson back to AMA Duc ride(with Eboz)
Roby Rolfo to d'Antin Ducati Fonsi Nieto d'Antin
Aoki to (test) Suzuki

Anyone have anymore?

Re: Off season rumours anyone?
I've heard that MotoGP will run a spec tire produced by Cheng Shin....and since the 4 strokes have become boring, and 2 strokes were too smoky, they will opt for 3-strokes....

Re: Off season rumours anyone?
The latest talk is Bayliss to Camel Honda, or a slight chance to Kawasaki. Both Suzuki boys are staying put, as are the Kawasaki boys. Then there's Hodgson to Ducati in AMA superbike to partner with EBoz.

It doesn't matter what the rumours are. C.E. is the best rider in the world and he will kick everyones ass next year. Unless Yamaha does to him what Honda did. Or he gets headshake. Or his dog eats his homework. Or they find Lacy Peterson under his tent. Or...

Barros is retired. Unless I missed something, and I haven't heard an anouncement about the Hodgeson move to AMA yet...also, unless I missed something.

I got this off crash.net Barros is almost certain to be replaced by Camel Honda's Max Biaggi, while the 34-year-old Brazilian - who finished fourth in the 2004 world championship, with four podiums to his credit - may join Sete Gibernau at the satellite Telefonica Movistar Honda team. http://www.crash.net/uk/en/news_view...d=6&nid=102166 usually they are pretty reliable. I could be wrong tho

Looks like Bayliss is going to Pons' Camel Honda. I'm happy for him!

Bayliss on a Honda would be awsome


Edwards vs Hayden has the potential to become a really cool rivalry I think

That's assuming Hayden runs mid-pack all year.

Saweet least I don't look like a complete lier.
Also looks like Tony Elias(tech 3 M1) and Roby Rolfo( ) might be stepping up from the 1/4 liter for this year from thier fortuna Hondas.

Elias and Xaus will be team mates with Yamaha. Bayliss and Barros team mates at Pons.
